Abstract
This chapter aims to explore the use of e-learning technologies in virtual learning. It has examined the implications of the use of e-learning platforms available and also popular globally. The goal is to study the popular learning management system (LMS) in the world in various top universities. Data that form the basis of analysis were collected through the respondents using moodle in structured format. The respondents are aware of the usability features in moodle. The study was considered in October-2020 at Apeejay School of Management. The nine usability features were identified and evaluated. They are easy to use, efficient, effective navigation, memorability, satisfaction, mobile compatibility, fast load times, browser consistency and colour scheme. Although all the features are satisfied, the evaluation of feature fast load times and browser consistency got the low scores where the management has to be considered and take some action regarding this. Also, the features ease of use and efficiency got the highest score in all nine parameters. The range of all parameters is from 3.5 to 4.1 out of 5. This research contributes to the upgrading of LMS in future. As it is a cloud-based open source, more functionality can be implemented in future in the institute by the moodle administration team.
